WARRANTY POLICY
FIRST AND FOREMOST, DUE TO THE RAMPANT ABUSE OF OUR RETURN
POLICY BY SOME CUSTOMERS WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING ANY RETURNS ON ELECTRONIC
OR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OR SOFTWARE & DATA BASED ITEMS THAT CAN BE
COPIED. PERIOD! IT IS STANDARD PRACTICE IN MOST
AUTOMOTIVE PARTS STORES TO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS ON ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. This rule overrides all policy that
follows. We are SINCERELY sorry
we can no longer supply you our VALUED customers with this convenience, but
after 8 years of selling the SpeedChanger line we have had NO items returned
because the product was bad or not operable. We have had VERY FEW units returned because they were
simply not compatible with the customer’s automobile and we have pretty much
defined those cases. (Contact Us
with your exact application to be sure.) In the same 8 years we have had a significant quantity of
items returned electrically functional but physically damaged by customers beyond
use. We have absorbed the entire
cost of these items to date. The
Profit margins on these items are extremely small and we can no longer afford
to do this. We now enjoy a
wonderful reputation in this field as absolutely the state of the art. We are comfortable that our 200%
testing (we test each unit twice before it is shipped) has stemmed any possibility
of sending you a bad unit.
Having
said this… FORD Performance Passenger vehicles (not truck as we understand
the issue) made since 2005 with the new 3-connector engine processor AND
throttle by wire AND Automatic Transmissions ONLY, have transmission slip
calculations built into the Engine Computer. This Transmission Slip Calculation will log an error and
force the transmission to shift improperly. NO speedometer calibration is POSSIBLE on this type of
vehicle by ANY manufacturer. Do
NOT purchase one of our items to calibrate this type of system. No Refunds will be offered.
Vehicles
that use all 4 ABS Wheel Speed Sensors as an input to the ABS module AND the
ABS Module outputs a COMPUTER CODED SIGNAL for speed (not a pulse rate vs.
speed signal… that is ok) to the rest of the vehicle, can NOT be Calibrated
by ANY Manufacturer. Do NOT
purchase one of our items to calibrate this type of system. No Refunds will be offered.
Again
– We SINCERELY apologize to our ethical customers for this action. We held out as long as we could. We hope that the trust we have earned
in the industry to date will still make our product your first choice for
this difficult task.
